IFRS Project Management – Phase 4 of the 5 Phase IFRS Conversion Model – Implementation

Found in IFRS | Tags: , ,

The overall objective of Phase 4 of the 5 Phase IFRS Project model (Implementation), is to sign off, implement, test and roll out solutions developed in the solution development phase. This would include the following:

• Policies.
• Accounting and Procedures manuals.
• Tax solutions.
• Business solutions.
• New processes.
• IT solutions.

Another objective is to produce the opening Balance Sheet and dry run of general ledger accounts.

The key activities in the implementation phase would involve the following:

Sign off on solutions developed including:
• Auditors and audit committee sign off.
• Implement solutions for Accounting manuals roll out and education.
• IT implementation.
• Process changes.

Test solutions based on test design:
• Finalization system testing.
• User acceptance testing (end to end test).
• Dry run exercises.
• Confirm (accounting) choices.
• Roll out solutions.

The final activity in the implementation phase is to prepare the opening balance sheet.

I hope this helps. This is one of a series of blogs that is meant to convey information relating to Canada’s transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS.
